    55JOSM helps you to enter data about real-world objects in the OSM geo-database. Despite the overwhelming complexity of real-world objects you can map, JOSM provides only three kinds of objects as basic building blocks for maps: [[Image(source:trunk/images/data/node.png,top,nolink)]] **nodes**, [[Image(source:trunk/images/data/way.png,middle,nolink)]] **ways** and [[Image(source:trunk/images/data/relation.png,middle)]] **relations**.

    7 You can assign **tags** to objects. It's the assigned set of tags which makes a node representing a restaurant different from a node representing a church, or a way representing a residential road different from a ways representing a river, or a relation representing a bus route different from a relation representing a cycling route.

    1616[[Image(source:trunk/images/data/way.png,20,middle,margin-right=15,margin-bottom=5,nolink)]] A **way** is a sequence of nodes. Despite its name a way doesn't represent ways in the real-world only. An OSM **way** is also used to represent a river, the boundaries of a country, or even a building.
